Cultural Diversities in Acting Training

What are the pressing issues around questions of ethnic and cultural diversities in acting training today? Nina Lee Aquino (moderator), Michael Greyeyes, Alanis King, Mieko Ouchi, Joseph Jomo Pierre, and Marcus Youssef discuss key issues around the ethics and politics of representations of ethnicity in the context of a former settler-invader colony, the ways in which the canon reinscribes dominant and generally Euro-centric norms around casting, intersections of patriarchy and racism in training situations, intersections of racism and class in training situations, and potential solutions to training situations that disadvantage students of colour.
